Creating a ASP+ in VStudio .NET

Try this:

1) Create a directory such as c:\MyTest
2) In IIS, create a virtual directory on the above dir, such as "aspx". You
will get error if this vertual dir has not been created succesfully.

3) Create a solution in VS.NET:
a) File | New | Project
b) Select C# and click on ASP+ Web Application
c) Enter MySolution in the Name box
d) Enter http://localhost/aspx in the location box
4) Right-click on the MySolution and select Add New Project
5) Select project type and enter project name in the name box (the location
will be selected as http://localhost/aspx by the IDE)

A solution can contain one or more projects.

The error message indicates that the virtual dir does not exist. Could you
put some ASP code (test.asp) in your virtual dir then use IE (http://localhost/aspx/test.asp)
to test if the virtual dir is okay or not before creating a project?

When create the first project, VS.NET will use the project name as the solution
name and add a project under it. Since I do not like same solution name and
the first project name, I usually create a solution then add projects under
it. You do not need to select project type when create the solution name.
It was my mistakes.

The IDE of VB.NET is very similar to that of Visual InterDev.

Thanks a lot for your help.

At first it didn't seem to work with the virtual directory I created. When I
tested it again
on a colleagues' machine it worked. So I reinstalled the Windows Component
Update 1.0
CD and retried to open the "test.aspx" file...it worked, but my happiness
didn't last for long...

I again tried to install a default ASP+ Web Project in that virtual
directory
and again received the following:

Error in creating project: Unable to create Web project 'aspx/Project1'.
Server error: There is no web named "".

Maybe I just ought to reinstall the whole thing, IIS, .NET, VStudio...not a
pleasant
thing to do during office hours but I'm getting a bit frustrated here.
I don't do much low-level tricks on my machine and it's an almost virgin
compatible installation and still it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks

I was able to get past the "Unable to create Web project" by re-installing
the IIS Server and Windows Components. Now I am having another problem:
When I try to run the project, I get the following error: Unable to
automatically attach to http:\\...Server doesn't have debugging enabled.
Ste 'debugmode enable' to true. I looked in config.web and debugging
enabled is true.
